Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Two years ago (yeah, because its the 24th already in Europe)...

"Giorgi Tevzadze...died in a car crash. He was in the passenger seat at the time of the accident, and his friend was driving the car. Sadly, Giorgi Tevzadze died when the car lost control, hit a tree with the right side."

Not ironic at all that he died in a crash even if it wasn't him.

Has anybody heard of Panoz? I've heard of them, but i thought they like disappeared off the face of the earth and was never heard of. Apparently, they want an arrow shaped car for LeMans. Oh, and it's electric. www.engadget.com/2015/06/23/panoz-deltawing-ev-for-le-mans/

I've heard sorta about them, but i haven't seen one in person. I thought they fell off the face of the earth. Weird they just now are in the media again.

I remember the Panoz Roadster from Midtown Madness, this old, late 90's racing game I played on pc when I was little.

Who knows, maybe they'll be more well known after LeMans, if they do go through with their plans.

I don't see them doing well and staying in any kind of spotlight.

Yep, the Esperante was a really really expensive Mustang, just uglier. I never really got it.

Pretty much the jist of it. Lol.

 

But that is how we got Pagani as well, so I wont mock the plan, only the execution.

Pagani isn't cheap quality though. Though their interiors are ugly imo. Great designs and materials, would not like to sit in one and use it though.

Seems great to me.

 

Still won't help Russian drivers, they'll still pass a car that is passing a truck on a 2 lane road with oncoming traffic...

Cars of that caliber are more art than car. Half of its real intent is to sit in the garage and make the owner smile. I like that.

Yeeeeaaaaaaaaaaah but if I'm going to spend a million dollars on a car you bet your ass I'm going to drive it. Even for an art piece I wouldn't spend that much and not "use" it.

I agree, I am just pointing out that cars of that caliber are often more than just a car, they are just as much art.
